    Abstract
    I understand that S.215 ("An Act to provide procedures for calling constitutional conventions for proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States, on application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the States, pursuant to Article V of the Constitution"), having passed the Senate, has now been referred to your Committec on the Judiciary. It is my distinct opinion, the result of years of reflection on the very -subject, that this bill is, for many reasons, both unconstitutional and unwise. It is also, quite obviously, a most important bill, for it would bring into being new and specific means for amending the Constitution of the United States, in a way that has never before been found needful. Because I think it both a supremely important and a very bad bill, I am taking the liberty of communicating to you at some length my reasons for opposition.
